I am having a bit of an issue, I have and HP 8570w elitebook Windows 7 32bit. Fresh OS install. Loaded all drivers and upto date otherwise.

I have a 90w docking station connected with a VGA and a DVI to 2 monitors. Both monitors display a mirrored desktop.

Issue, the computer in display settings only shows and detects 1 monitor and I don't have the option to extend display. I have hit the detect button and nothing changes and we I click Identify both monitors are listed as 1. Device manager doesn't show anything missing.

You ran all the windows updates, now go to HP's support site and install HP Support Assistant. Run all updates in the support assitant. Eventually you will catch up and get all the bois updates and video card updates and the dock will fully work.

The alternative is to pick and choose drivers from HP's site trying to find which component is in need of update. I use the HP Support Assistant because it will handle all the bois updates and driver updates for their components with minimal baby sitting for reboots.

@John@Drake, thank you very much for your inquiry and thanks also to Justin7819 for his helpful feedback. If your issue remains unresolved, do you mind pinging me with the product and serial number of both your EliteBook 8570w and 90w docking station as well as your contact information?
